The Forest Passage – podcast reading of the whole book
I discovered this podcast reading of The Forest Passage on a website new to me: Immediatism: Essays provocative and incendiary. The site offers almost 500 podcasts on a variety of topics from Anarchism to Post-Left to Technology and many other categories of alternative world views. The original reading was divided up into nine podcasts, including the translator’s introduction and a formal...
The Essential Anarch: quotes on the anarch from Eumeswil
As an aid to anyone aspiring to live as an anarch in the sense developed in Ernst Jünger’s novel, Eumeswil, through the character of its protagonist, Manuel, I have compiled a complete collection of all quotations from the book that elaborate on this critical Jüngerian theme. However impossible such a choice may seem given all the unique ideas Jünger has given us, I do find the concept of...
Between Order and Disorder: Ernst Jünger on the Marble Cliffs
(From VoegelinView, 16 Feb 2021) There are several examples that help us grasping that particular zeitgeist lived in the first half of the 20th century. A book such as Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain gives us a description of the moral and spiritual decomposition of the then bourgeois society. At this time, in the bashed and defeated post-war Germany, nihilism had turned to be a dominant moral...

(Photo by: Bildagentur-online/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) FEBRUARY 11, 2020 ROD DREHER After I gave my speech last week in Rome, someone came up to me and said, “You have to read The Forest Passage by Ernst Jünger.” I wish I could remember who told me that, but I do remember that they were emphatic. So I ordered it on my Kindle that night from my hotel room, and read it on the flight...

Review of Jünger’s WWII diaries in English translation – by Michael Lewis
A Dandy Goes to War Review of A German Officer in Occupied Paris. The War Journals 1941 – 1945 by Ernst Jünger Sept 2019 – by MICHAEL LEWIS Nazi Germany produced two wartime diaries of equal literary and historical significance but written from the most different perspectives conceivable.

Storms of Steel – audio review of 2003 Hofmann translation
A quick and simple yet insightful introduction to Michael Hofmann’s 2003 English translation of Storms of Steel, for anyone who hasn’t read it. The reviewer apparently also hadn’t read anything of Jünger’s prior to this review, so he has a pleasantly unbiased and uncomplicated perspective.
Review of The Forest Passage by Ernst Jünger
The Forest Passage Taken from The Worthy House on October 13, 2018, written by Charles Ernst Jünger was one of the more fascinating men of the twentieth century. Remembered in the English-speaking world primarily for his World War I memoir, The Storm of Steel, he was famous in Europe for a range of right-leaning thought spanning nearly eighty years (he lived from 1896 to 1998). His output was...

EUMESWIL again available! From Sept 1, 2015
Telos Press has just announced their newest Ernst Jünger publication: a republication of Eumeswil in the superb original Neugroschel translation!! This is, in my opinion, their most important contribution yet to the dissemination of an author so under- and misread in the Anglo-Saxon world. For years now the original Marsilio publication (Eridanos Library, 1993) has been unavailable, or at least...

No matter how extensive the technologies of surveillance become, the forest...
